Need North Africa book suggestions

I have decided to study each theater of WWII seperately, but very in depth, but need suggestions. Anything is a great help.

I am reading "An Army at Dawn", but Rick Atkinson.

I think it's rick, the book's in my car.

 

A classic about the earlier stages of N. Africa is 'The Crucible Of War' Volumes I & II by Barrie Pitt ( also published as three volumes in paperback ).

Also a good one is 'Kasserine Pass' by Martin Blumenson.

 

Depends on what you want. There is the Rommel Ppaers. I've got more at home that i can check when i get back.

 

Atkinson's work is outstanding. Although US veterans have complained of their treatment in this history, I think it's balanced.

The best companion volume to Atkinson is:

Here Is Your War / by Ernie Pyle.
